    Today i decited to relocate my plate to the left side of my bumper for a more JDM look yo! lol

    Materials

    1. (2), 2" inch L brackets [​IMG]

    2. screws for the brackets and the plate mounting
    3. drill
    4. screwdriver
    5. willing-ness to drill into your own bumper/ front lip.
    (i am not responsible for any damage cause to your bumper

    Process

    1. Choice where you would like to relocate your plate to right or left.
    2. Measure out the distance between the holes on your plate and mark where you would like your first bracket to go. The best location is just above the first two holes in the front splitter. If you can attach between the splitter and bumper as i does it help clear the tow hook.
    here it should look like attached.

    3. Drill the apropreate mounting hole/ holes for the l bracket and attach.
    4. Test fit the plate to make sure the second location is marked correctly
    5. Drill the appropriate holes and attach
    6. Attach your plate
    7. Step back and admire your work here is how it should look completed
